I've been on HRT for 2 years now and I thought that I've been doing well but, my mom has told me recently that my mannerisms are to manly and that it doesn't fit well with how I look.

She has had a few boyfriends that ask her what I am, and sometimes she does slip up ....... Well most of the time calling me by my male name.

She has had 2 strokes and I constantly think that, that is the reason why. It feels super embarrassing and I feel like I could die in their company. Just wanted to know like how does one be more girly like.

I kinda pride myself in being like a tomboy dressing in what is comfy but so!etimes I do go all out with the heels and make up and things.

Just feel like I wanna pass and try my best but people by mistake out me....

Do what ever feels comfortable girl. If you are a tomboy then you are a tomboy. Break the codes. Had you been born properly and acted the way you do I doubt many people would make a fuss, but since you are trans people expect you to be a certian way. Live life like you're going to die!

Thanks SM,
I do feel comfortable but I just wanna be me and normal it makes me sad that so etimes my mom can't call me by my name and perhaps its cause she forgets and I don't blame her.

I just don't wanna be around her when people are there cause she seems to always out me and I thought I passed perfectly then people ask me all kinds of questions or dont talk to me at all.

I do feel like me and I'm a helluva farm girl I Gert down dirty but I think I could be feminine

I do appreciate you response I do feel tons better thanks <3

There is nothing wrong with being a bit of a tomboy. I call it "redneck chic".
